Cranberry Limeade Recipe

This Sonic copycat cranberry limeade is a great alternative to cola and a perfect drink for winter.

I am a Pepsi girl.  GASP!  I’m sorry all you Diet Coke fans.  But I love Pepsi.  However, I haven’t had a Pepsi in almost 3 years.  I decided to stop drinking it when I was pregnant with my baby.  I actually decided to cut out caffeine while I was pregnant and after I had the baby, I continued to not drink caffeine.

So now it’s been almost 3 years and I haven’t had a Pepsi.  Sometimes it still just doesn’t seem right to eat a bean burrito from Taco Bell without a cold Pepsi. 🙂  Now don’t get me wrong, I still drink soda, but just not caffeinated sodas.  Some day I hope to cut out soda all together, but I just love that fizz!  So I find myself still making runs to Sonic.  Cherry limeades were my go to for the longest time.  But a few months ago, my friend had me try a cranberry limeade and I’ve been hooked ever since.

I think it is the perfect refreshing drink for the winter season since cranberries are so festive.  I mean it looks like Christmas!

Yield: 4 liters

Ingredients

• 64 oz bottle cranberry juice
• 2 liter bottle lemon lime soda
• 2 limes
• ice

Instructions

1. In a large pitcher mix together cranberry juice and the juice of 2 limes.
2. Add cold lemon lime soda right before serving.
3. Pour over ice.

This would be a fun drink for a party, but you could also make just a single serving for yourself or to share with a friend.  To make a single serving, mix 3/4 cup cranberry juice, 1/4 of a fresh lime juiced and 12 oz can of lemon lime soda.  If you buy a big bag of ice from Sonic, it’ll seem like it came right from the store!

I make this one all the time for parties or when we have friends over, especially during the holidays.
